Power Steering Control Valve
My control valve is seeping and I am going to change it. I have been shopping around and there is a wide range of prices on these things- everywhere from the low $100 range at Corvette America (for example) to nearly $200 at Advance Auto (both are remanufactured).
Anyone have any suggestions as far as where to get a good quality reman at a good price?
Thanks,
Dan

I just did mine and its not a fun job. The bad part is that the first replacement leaked as well so I had to ship it back and get another.
If I could go back in time, I would buy it from a local place like advance, autozone or someone local with a lifetime warranty. If it ever fails you just walk in and return it no shipping or bs.

I build them in-house... http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...oducts_id=1307
I'd say it's more of a messy job vs a hard job..
But you can rebuild it..
Here is the rebuild kit... about 20.00.

Here is the stud kit below (rarely needed) 44.00.

And last of all... . Here is how to do it..

Rebuild yours. Not difficult, and plenty of references. I used one from CSSB.It's on their website (somehow has disappeared from my faves).
Get the full rebuild kit, the one with the new ball stud.
Rebuild kit: < $100
Rebuild experience: priceless
